NetSPI Attack Surface Management vs. FireCompass

Attack Surface Management plays a crucial role in pinpointing both recognized and unrecognized public-facing assets that might be susceptible to vulnerabilities, as well as any modifications to your attack surface that could represent threats. This function is facilitated by a combination of NetSPI’s cutting-edge ASM technology platform, the expertise of our global penetration testing professionals, and a wealth of experience accumulated over more than twenty years in the field of penetration testing. You can have confidence knowing that the ASM platform continuously operates in the background, providing you with the most comprehensive and up-to-date view of your external attack surface. By embracing continuous testing, organizations can adopt a forward-thinking approach to their security strategies. The ASM platform is driven by advanced automated scan orchestration technology, which has proven effective in our penetration testing endeavors for many years. Furthermore, we utilize a hybrid strategy, employing both automated and manual methods to consistently discover assets, while also harnessing open source intelligence (OSINT) to access publicly available data resources. This comprehensive strategy not only empowers us to identify vulnerabilities but also significantly strengthens your organization’s defense against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. In a world where cyber risks are constantly changing, having a proactive and dynamic security posture is more critical than ever.

FireCompass functions continuously, employing sophisticated reconnaissance methods to map out the deep, dark, and surface web similarly to how threat actors operate. The platform autonomously identifies an organization's continually changing digital attack landscape, uncovering previously unknown risks such as exposed databases, cloud storage vulnerabilities, code leaks, compromised credentials, at-risk cloud assets, open ports, and more. In addition, FireCompass allows users to execute safe penetration tests on their critical applications and assets. Once the necessary approvals for the attack parameters are in place, the FireCompass engine launches multi-faceted attacks that include network, application, and social engineering strategies to expose possible breach and attack pathways. Moreover, FireCompass aids in the prioritization of digital threats, ensuring that the most vulnerable points are highlighted for immediate attention. The user-friendly dashboard clearly categorizes risks into high, medium, and low priorities, along with recommended strategies for mitigation, which helps organizations effectively distribute their resources to tackle the most urgent concerns. By adopting this all-encompassing methodology, organizations can significantly bolster their overall cybersecurity defenses and resilience against potential threats. This improved security framework not only protects sensitive data but also fosters a culture of proactive risk management within the organization.
